We phased out a lot of our GM vans recently, but prior to that it seems we had 50/50 GM/Ford. I have not heard about the Ford rim problem though. started there in a Ford moved into a GM and just moved back into a Ford this year. I am sure our Chevy lovers would have informed me if they heard the rim problem. I do not care what I am in as long as it takes me home when the job is done.

've been driving a Freightliner Sprinter since 2008. Love it! You can stand upright in it, like humans are designed to. When I get something out of one of our econolines, is like crawling into a hole. Too hard for this old man! You can carry SOOOO much more stuff in it also.I've seen the large Nissan van on the road. Anyone had any experience with one?

I used to drive a sprinter when I worked at service experts. They're great on fuel, but $320 for an oil change, brakes every 40,000 km and those Mercedes diesels did NOT like starting below -25•C even with a block heater. They'd pour out black smoke for 5 minutes.
I've read the Nissan van is built on the Titan platform, which sounds promising.

Here in Texas it dosen't get that cold (except when I get near my wife at bedtime)
Brakes: 40K miles. We change our own oil(Mobile 1 synthetic) so that cost is not too bad.
My son loves to change the oil because he then burnes it as fuel in his deuce & 1/2. He buys and refurbishes military trucks, on the side.
